I had tried the game with an nvidia graphic card that did not support 3D acceleration very well and the menu did not freeze. However, the game lagged really bad as it was not well supported.
This is telling me that it is likely in how opengl works with the game or with how the game works with opengl as that is what my integrated video can handle and my nvidia card really can't.
I tried the game in not full-screen, no sound, no music, reduced quality, and it still froze.
Thank GNU for your help.
Below listed is original post:
When I right click in the game to bring up the weapons menu, the game freezes completely. I can not close it. I can not alt+ctrl+delete. I can not alt+ctrl+F1, or F2, or anything on my system Trisquel 3.0 to get where I can log into root and reboot. The entire computer system freezes with Hedewars up and the music playing. I have been resorting to hard booting with the power switch to get the computer back up. When I use the keys to switch weapons, it doesn't freeze. The error is in whatever is generating the weapons menu, not in switching weapons themselves and it is a very critical error. Please respond soon as I love this game. Also, the error is new to 0.9.12. Thank GNU.
